Dinner and fashion show raises more than $50k for Monmouth's Cancer Support Community.

THE CANCER SUPPORT COMMUNITY (CSC) AT MONMOUTH Medical Center (MMC) hosted its Celebration of Life Dinner and Fashion Show. The event raised more than $50,000 for CSC programming and featured fashions modeled by cancer survivors, on Nov. 2 at the Ocean Place Resort and Spa in Long Branch.

“When she approached me three years ago and asked me to consider taking on her Cancer Support Community affiliate as a hospital-based program, I never could have imagined what it would grow into,” says Dr. Vozos. “Today, we offer more than 60 free programs a month and we’re serving more than 7,000 individuals affected by cancer annually between both campuses.”

MMC has partnered with CSC to carry on CSC’s mission to ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action and sustained by community. This international non-profit group offers a menu of personalized services centered around support groups, cancer education, nutrition and healthy cooking, exercise and movement, meditation and relaxation and social activities. These support services are available through a network of professionally led communitybased centers and hospitals, including MMC’s main campus in Long Branch and its southern campus in Lakewood.
